Fear of Myself
I do not want to talk
To anyone at the moment,
Do not need all this pain in my life:
Can't live up to my mistakes and lies;
Am so empty inside!
What can I say?
I keep searching,
Can't find anything sweet inside of me;
I am rotten all over.
Tired of hiding from this horrible monster
I created out of myself.
My beginning was not like this,
I have gone this far,
Cannot turn around to see
The dirty road I have walked.
I hurt myself, my wife, my child;
I hate myself for losing
All the sweetness I had.
I guess there is something
I am hiding from;
The reality of my failures,
Fear of my wishes and self.
